Preventive Dentistry
Prevention is the cornerstone of good oral health. At Molar Dental, we emphasize the importance of regular dental check-ups and cleanings to prevent dental problems before they start.
Financing Options at Molar Dental
Our office is in-network with all major insurance providers. Please bring your insurance card to each appointment so we can make sure your information is as up-to-date as possible. If you do not find your insurance provider here; we work with all major insurance provides, please call at (281) 371-6368 for clarity.
Our preventive dentistry services include:
- Routine Dental Examinations: Regular dental exams are essential for detecting potential issues early. Our skilled dentists will thoroughly evaluate your teeth, gums, and oral health during your exam. We use advanced diagnostic tools to identify problems such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer at their earliest stages.
- Professional Teeth Cleanings: Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth. Our professional dental cleanings remove these deposits, reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease. Our hygienists use gentle yet effective techniques to leave your teeth feeling clean and fresh.
- Dental Sealants: Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your molars. They act as a barrier, preventing food particles and bacteria from getting trapped in the grooves of your teeth, which can lead to cavities. Sealants are a simple and painless way to protect your teeth from decay.
- Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. Our fluoride treatments are quick and painless, providing extra protection for your teeth. These treatments are especially beneficial for children but can also benefit adults.
Restorative Dentistry
If you have dental issues such as cavities, damaged teeth, or missing teeth, our restorative dentistry services can help restore your smile to its optimal health and function.
We offer a variety of restorative treatments, including:
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: Cavities are a common dental issue, but our tooth-colored fillings provide a natural-looking solution. Made from durable composite resin, these fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring their strength and appearance.
- Crowns and Bridges: Dental crowns and bridges are effective solutions for restoring damaged or missing teeth. Crowns are custom-made caps that cover and protect a damaged tooth, while bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. Both options are designed to look and function like your natural teeth.
- Root Canal Therapy: When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or damaged, a root canal can save the tooth from extraction. Our skilled dentists perform root canal therapy to remove the infected tissue, clean the root canal, and seal it to prevent further infection. This procedure can relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth.
- Dentures and Partials: If you are missing multiple teeth, dentures and partials can restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. We offer custom-made full and partial dentures that fit comfortably and look natural, giving you a complete and functional smile.
- Dental Implants: Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone and topped with a custom-made crown. Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, providing a long-lasting and stable solution for tooth replacement.
Cosmetic Dentistry
A beautiful smile can boost your confidence and enhance your overall appearance. At Molar Dental, we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry services to help you achieve the smile of your dreams.
Our cosmetic treatments include:
- Teeth Whitening: Various factors, including aging, consumption of certain foods/beverages, and smoking, can cause teeth to become stained/discolored. Our professional teeth whitening treatments can brighten your smile by several shades, giving you a more youthful and vibrant appearance.
- Porcelain Veneers: Veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surfaces of the upper 6 to 8 front teeth. They can correct a variety of cosmetic issues, such as chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. Veneers are designed to look natural and blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
- Invisalign: If you have crooked or misaligned teeth, Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. This orthodontic treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Periodontal Care
Gum health is a crucial component of overall oral health. Our periodontal care services are designed to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease, ensuring the health of your gums and supporting structures.
Our periodontal treatments include:
- Scaling and Root Planing: This deep cleaning procedure is used to treat gum disease by removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline. Scaling and root planing help reduce inflammation and promote the healing of gum tissue.
- Periodontal Maintenance: Regular periodontal maintenance visits are essential for patients with a history of gum disease. These visits help keep your gums healthy and prevent the recurrence of gum disease. Our team will work with you to develop a personalized maintenance plan.
- Laser Gum Therapy: Laser technology allows for precise and minimally invasive treatment of gum disease. Laser gum therapy can effectively remove infected tissue and promote the regeneration of healthy gum tissue, with less discomfort and faster healing compared to traditional methods.
Pediatric Dentistry
At Molar Dental, we understand that children have unique dental needs. Our pediatric dentistry services are designed to provide gentle and compassionate care for our youngest patients. We strive to create a positive and enjoyable dental experience for children, helping them develop healthy oral habits that will last a lifetime.
Our pediatric services include:
First Dental Visit: According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, children should have their first dental visit when their first tooth erupts, usually before their first birthday. This will help familiarize your child with our office and establish a good foundation for oral health.
Preventive Care: Regular check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants are essential for maintaining your child’s oral health. Our team provides age-appropriate preventive care to keep your child’s teeth and gums healthy.
Education and Counseling: We believe in the importance of educating children and parents about proper oral hygiene practices. Our team provides guidance on brushing, flossing, diet, and other factors that contribute to a healthy smile.
Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and prompt treatment is essential to prevent further damage and relieve pain. At Molar Dental, we offer emergency dentistry services to address urgent dental issues, such as:
- Toothaches: Severe tooth pain can be a sign of an underlying issue, such as a cavity, infection, or injury. Our team will diagnose the cause of your toothache and provide appropriate treatment to alleviate your pain.
- Broken or Chipped Teeth: If you have a broken or chipped tooth, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible. We can repair the damage and restore the tooth’s appearance and function.
- Knocked-Out Teeth: If a tooth has been knocked out, time is of the essence. Our team can provide guidance on how to handle the tooth and will make every effort to save it.
